Family

Laverne and Bubby have a good relationship, as they are mother and daughter. Bubby at times picks on her daughter (along with her son-in-law), saying that she hardly feeds Francine and Catherine, as well as when she says that their apartment is not clean.

When Bubby arrived for Yom Kippur, she energetically embraced both Francine and Catherine and called then her "favorite grandchildren". She then told Catherine that, although she was turning into "such a beauty" that, "...blue really isn't your color, darling..."

Name

'Bubbe' is a word originating from Yiddish which means 'grandmother'. Since there is more than one way to spell the word in English, official PBS sources have variously used Bubby,[1][2] Bubbe,[3][4][5] and Bubba.[6][7] On Arthur Wiki, 'Bubby' is preferred because it is the spelling used in actual dialogue in "Is That Kosher?".[8]
